For Agents

Pull a filtered feed of WorkBC job postings and the supporting reference data (job types, regions, industries, major projects) used to filter them.

Connect the WorkBC Job Posting API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the WorkBC Job Posting API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

View OpenAPI Document

The WorkBC Job Posting API exposes a feed of job postings published on the WorkBC Job Board run by the British Columbia government. It also serves the supporting reference data — major projects, job types, regions, and industries — that callers need to filter the feed sensibly. Job postings are retrieved with POST /jobs and matched against the supplied filters in the request body. The API is intended for partners syndicating BC public-sector and broader provincial job listings into their own employment portals or analytics pipelines.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use WorkBC Job Posting API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Job Board Syndication

Mirror WorkBC postings on a partner job board so candidates see provincial opportunities alongside private-sector listings. POST /jobs accepts a filter body and returns matching postings, while GET /regions, GET /Industries, and GET /jobTypes provide the lookup tables needed to populate filters in the partner UI. End-to-end syndication can be running in a day.

Pull WorkBC postings filtered to the Vancouver Island region and return the title, employer, and posting URL for each.

Labour Market Analytics

Sample WorkBC postings periodically to track demand by industry and region across British Columbia. Combine the /jobs feed with the industry, region, and job-type lookups to attribute each posting to a normalised classification. The result is a reproducible dataset for labour-market dashboards without scraping the public site.

Fetch WorkBC postings filtered by the Construction industry and return a count of postings per region.

Major Projects Outreach

Surface employment opportunities tied to BC major capital and infrastructure projects. GET /majorProjects lists the projects and POST /jobs can be filtered by project so workforce-development partners can route candidates to roles connected to specific projects (such as transit expansion or hospital builds).

List WorkBC major projects and return the names and IDs of projects that currently have associated job postings.

AI Agent Job Recommender

An AI career assistant built on Jentic asks the user about their region, industry, and desired job type, then queries WorkBC for matching postings. The agent searches Jentic for 'get bc job postings', loads POST /jobs, and returns curated postings to the user without requiring credentials or web scraping.

Use Jentic to search 'get bc job postings' and pull WorkBC postings filtered to industry 'Health Care' in the Lower Mainland region.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

No credentials are required. Jentic still routes calls through its policy layer so audit logs of WorkBC pulls are preserved even though no secret is injected.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'get bc job postings' or 'list workbc industries') and Jentic returns the matching operation with the required filter body schema typed.

Time to first call

Direct integration: a few hours to model the filter body and the supporting reference lookups. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes to a working filtered job-posting pull.

FAQs

Specific to using WorkBC Job Posting API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the WorkBC Job Posting API use?

The OpenAPI spec defines no security schemes for this service, so requests are made anonymously over HTTPS. No bearer token or API key is required, and Jentic relays calls as-is without injecting credentials.

Can I filter WorkBC postings by region and industry?

Yes. POST /jobs accepts a filter body that supports region and industry constraints, validated against the lists returned by GET /regions and GET /Industries. Combine with GET /jobTypes and GET /majorProjects for additional facets.

What are the rate limits for the WorkBC Job Posting API?

Specific limits are not declared in the OpenAPI spec. Treat the feed as a batch source: pull periodically rather than per user request, and cache the regions, industries, job types, and major projects lookups since they change infrequently.

How do I pull WorkBC postings through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'get bc job postings', load the POST /jobs operation, and execute with the desired region and industry filters in the request body. With pip install jentic, the call returns the matching postings ready for syndication or analytics.

Why is /jobs a POST instead of a GET?

The endpoint accepts a structured filter body, which is awkward to express in a GET query string. The spec models it as POST /jobs accordingly so callers can pass nested filters cleanly.
